I chose format as portable storage
Ok then, just wanted to be sure if miui has silently got the format as internal memory feature.

Good morning all
I have been hearing about Xiaomi phones for sometimes now and i can say i am really wowed with the reviews i read on facebook and here. The popular redmi note 7 design is top notch. I like the Mi remote alot and GCAM

I have made up my mind to get a Xiaomi phone and I am torn between Redmi Note 8 Pro and MI 9T.

Please i need your honest opinion on these two.

Does the phones support Glo 4G LTE
Does it have Mi Remote .
Does it also support GCAM.

Which among these two can you honestly recommend for me.

I will be reading your opinions. God bless

In my honest opinion I will pick the Mi 9T over the RN 8 Pro.

I have a bias for phones with Telephoto lens
Does it have Mi Remote .
Does it also support GCAM.

Redmi Note 8 Pro no GCam(Thanks to MTK Processor), The Global Version has Glo 4G and it has Mi Remote.

Mi 9T. No IR blaster for Mi Remote, Has GCam Support and supports Glo 4G.

I hope this helps.

But i saw on Xiaomi website that it has band 3 and 28. I Know band 28 support GLO 4G LTE. And where can i get the global version cos it seems is the chinese version they are selling

These re the bandwidth information on their site.

This is for Global Version not Chinese version. There is no Band 7, Band 20 and Band 28 on the Chinese version and the Xiaomi site you entered was their Global site not Chinese otherwise the website will be in Chinese.

You can get the Global Version on AliExpress. But the RN 8 and RN 8 Pro would soon be launched in Nigeria. But the Mi 9T is readily available.

Also note Xiaomi devices with MTK don't get as much developer support compared to their Snapdragon versions at least till they proves us wrong.

When you say soon, do you mean like next week grin. Cos my hands are scratching me to hold this beauty.
I just like the big screen of Redmi note 8 pro compare to that of MI 9T. And the absence of IR blaster in MI 9T is discouraging

They haven't put a time but they confirmed their would be a product launch in Nigeria soon.

As for me despite the absence of the IR Blaster, I will pick the Mi 9T over the RN 8 PRO

It will get dev support. But note the available LTE bands on the Chinese version of RN 8 but if you only use Airtel or 9mobile ignore.

Hi, please my redmi 5's front camera is very blurry and kind of white when and after taking pictures with it but the back camera is okay.
This was not the case when I got the phone newly and I don't know what could be wrong.
Any idea?

Ads by MIUI can be disabled but ads from other 3rd party can't except you use another app to disable them. No phone without ads except you're not online. It's normal.

You can disable background data for apps you don't want to be active online when not in use.
How can you disable miui ads pls?
